Amherst College 2021 RD Discussion Thread

All release hours are speculation, officially its “late in the day” so I’m not waiting for a particular moment, hope they send an email or will see the decision spam in this thread :slight_smile: Its so much less stressful when you are not looking at the clock counting minutes to a particular hour

@hungrihippo

Amherst is need-blind for everyone.

@nTv187 - lack of income documentation will delay your financial aid award, but that’s it. It won’t affect your admission decision.

Good luck everyone.

When I just now attempted to login, I was given the following errors, “You have entered an invalid email address or password.”

@IvyBred I can log-in fine.

My brother attends Amherst currently, and recalls it coming out at 4pm. So I think it should come out for us around then too

Did anyone get a “my profile” section on their My Amherst?

I just had it added and I don’t remember doing it myself.

@colleges I had that added yesterday I think - after I logged into My Amherst directly from the website for the first time.

How many hours to decision, anyone?

1ish
its at 4

Let’s get more hype guys it’s almost time

rangersfan800 i am told that legacy matters a lot if it is primary legacy

Rejected from 7 already! Being international and needing fund is :frowning: [Waiting for Amherst]

good luck to all of you –

Is it at 4 EDT for sure?

No one knows for certain

@colleges its been there for a week

There is no for sure time. It is generally at the end of the business day, presumably so students don’t neurodically start calling the admissions department. :-S

@golddigger9 I know, right? I’m also international and I’m also asking for a lot of aid. I haven’t been rejected by 7, but by 4. However, I got into my 3 safetys and 1 target. The worst part is when you get in and can’t afford it, which is what happened to me with my target school (Georgia Tech).

Haven’t you applied to safety schools? Good luck :wink:

Will we just get an email with our decision or will it be on our portal?

you guys make me nervous! haha. I saw “15 new posts” in my CC bookmarks and I was like “THIS IS IT! Amherst is out!!”. Nothing…
